I finally had to eat my words after arguing with a neighbor about drywall anchors

My neighbor Dave told me those zip toggles were better than the old school plastic anchors I've used since forever and I argued with him for fifteen minutes before trying them on a new shelf and now I'm out $12 for a pack I should've bought three years ago but has anyone else switched and not looked back?

Yeah Dave really set you up for a hard lesson there.

Nah, I gotta push back on that. Dave actually did him a favor by showing him how fast that market can flip. If he learned that lesson with a small position instead of a big one, he saved himself from a much worse hit later on. Everyone wants to talk about fair warning but sometimes the only way it sticks is when you feel the sting yourself. @the_spencer you gotta admit that sometimes people only listen when they get burned a little. A hard lesson now beats a catastrophic one down the road every time.
